I forgot I had this. This will be better than any picture! The gearsets install over the idler pulleys #29905. I think the older version like you have will present a challenge. I’m pretty sure it’s been done before, but if you can find a later model Hustler, like in the illustration, you sure would be miles ahead.

Gear Driven:

Saw on another post that Mister B. is currently on vacation. You may want to e-mail him off-line rather than continuing to “bump” until his return. I’m sure he’ll appreciate the information you provided.

Hi, from Cape Town, South Africa. Just this weekend I was given one of these Hustlers with rotted rubber bands and was wondering if it could be modified to some type of gear drive. I missed the original thread from Mr Beasley, was it about modifying the rubber band drive to gears? Thanks for the diagram, it is a start.

Regards, Mike.

If the Hustler you have is JUST like the one in the diagram it’s a late model, and the Ernst company makes a gearset for it.
